Jaguar Land Rover could face a £120 million hit to its finances after the UK’s largest car maker extended its shutdown on car production for another week, experts have warned.

The car giant said on Tuesday that it will pause production across all its factories until at least Wednesday September 24 as it continued to grapple with the fallout of a damaging cyber attack.

It has reportedly also warned suppliers that disruption could last into November.

JLR was forced to halt production at the beginning of the month at its factories in Halewood, on Merseyside, and Solihull in the West Midlands, and its engine manufacturing site in Wolverhampton.

It followed a major cyber attack that affected its global operations and forced the UK manufacturer to shut down its systems on August 31.
